Cyberbullying

What is it?

Many people don't know what cyberbullying is. It can be a very traumatizing thing for some kids. Cyberbullying is when one person bullies another person through an electronic device. More people than you would think get cyberbullied. It is very sad to see a child go through being cyberbullied. This is why it should be prevented. Even though I have never been cyberbullied I have learned about it in my school and I know how horrible it is. I want to help inform people of how tramatizing it can be to if you are cyberbullied. If you have been cyberbullied then you know how hard it is to go through. Help take a stand against cyberbullying by reporting it if you see it, don't just be a bystander. If you are being cyberbullied or someone you know is being cyberbullied then tell a trusted adult. Don't try to deal with it even if you think you can. Please help people being cyberbullied, don't keep it to yourself, tell an adult who you trust and ask for their help. Cyberbullying happens a lot on social medias so you should always have your parents permission to have an account for any social medias or anything like that.

How it can effect people
